Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation of the reg_passwd input in signup.php to reject SQL syntax before it reaches the database.

prevent

Limits database account privileges so a successful SQL injection via reg_passwd cannot read or modify arbitrary data.

detect

Enables monitoring and alerting on anomalous SQL patterns or errors generated by the vulnerable valreg_passwdation function.
